Duckling Thread!

Right!? That’s one of the main reasons I wanted to incubate!! Of course, the other is to have MORE!!! After these hatch, who knows what I’ll put in there.. crested is next, probably.

@Miss Lydia can you tell me about muscovies? What do you like about yours?

@casportpony, same for you if you both have time?

Congrats, your's are adorable! I think what I like most about mine is how mellow and quiet they are compared to quackers.

Mine to the sweet voices of the females and the huffing of the drake. Very laid back and beautiful.

Thanks Kathy! They seem pretty calm, I hope they stay like this!

Thanks Patti! The drakes aren’t human aggressive are they?

Ducklings are starting to get their feathers now.

And they’re both quacking, two girls

How old are they now?

Just like any drake they can have their moments but if we show them we aren’t going to let them dominate us they learn pretty quick. Only Muscovy drake I have had that’s wanted to be aggressive to me was my drake I have now that I hand raised and we got that worked out pretty quick now he is just my big fellow.

So they can be aggressive, but it can also be corrected?
